Great job at staying safe!
Swimming bicycling whirlpool Sauna
I really like the POOL and clean hot tub which is not as clean at the Decatur YMCA
Aquatics, Youth Programs, Senior Programs, Classes, Weight Room
I like the Barre class with Julie and I want to try her Pilates call too. Also they have 4-5 Pelaton bikes too.
The swimming schedule is excellent.
It's clean. Staff is super friendly and helpful.
I think you are making a mistake and endangering people by not requiring masks. Ys in Pennsylvania require them, and people do it. That room you set up doesn't even have a bench to lift weights with, even though the room next door have plenty of benches. if you want people to be safe, add more things to the room and open other safe rooms.
also, I've talked to others and it's a real problem there are housekeeping staff through items left away or take them.
there's an empty building across the street by the cross walk. and there are steps leading up. It would be a great business and community opportunity to work with a nonprofit development corp, or even for profit, or do it yourself -- open up a healthy eating and meeting space, or have lodging. Ys do this all over the country, either hostel-type, or transition, or senior. There are tons of new living complexes around so an eating establishment would be utilized and since it's so close to the Y, you could do some great partnerships.
thanks for asking!
I'm appreciative that the gym is open and my children can get some activity.
I like the financial assistance program and the group classes. For the group classes, I specifically enjoyed step and spin. I hope to continue going to this Y in the future and recommend it to people in the community.
They are all great.
I am a new member and I am impressed by the atmosphere and how well organized the Y is regarding signing up for classes.
Clean Wellness Center and pool deck. Attentive lifeguard.
Indoor and outdoor pool
Spin class occasionally
Clean locker rooms
I rotate between the Decatur YMCA and East. East Lake's exercise equipment is in better condition. I love my spin class instructors at Decatur YMCA (Sudie and Sarah) and I discovered an excellent one at East Lake (Steven). I'm a fan of both locations and appreciate all of you!
The convenience of the center and the different programs for each member of your family.

I enjoy the pool and yoga classes at ELY. The pool seems to be well-managed and is always clean and fresh. I appreciate the fact that ELY offers several yoga classes.
I love that there are so many peloton bikes! I was pleasantly surprised that there were more than enough machines which meant there were no people waiting in lines to use the machines!

I’m happy to have the pool available. The staff is doing a great job keeping everything spotless. Thank you!
